The consequences of a military confrontation with Russia for Ukraine can be “terrible”, therefore, to return Donbass, it is necessary to focus on long-term diplomacy. This opinion was expressed by the president of the Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger.
A military confrontation between Ukraine and Russia could lead to disaster. This opinion was expressed by Wolfgang Ischinger, president of the Munich Security Conference, in an interview with Evropeyskaya Pravda.
Commenting on the journalist’s statement that the situation with Nagorno-Karabakh was resolved only after Azerbaijan tried to solve the problem by military means, the politician said: “Do not even think about it! You really need to worry about how to protect Ukraine so that neither Russia nor anyone else can violate its borders again. But don’t even think about a military conflict for the return of Donbass! Because the difference is crazy! There we are talking about a conflict between two small states of the Caucasus, neither of which is of strategic importance neither for Russia, nor for the United States, nor for another world power ”.
In his opinion, the consequences of the military confrontation with the Russian Federation for Ukraine will be “terrible”.
“You will be seriously injured. Perhaps Russia will also be seriously affected, I don’t know, but the consequences for you will definitely not be good. That is why I advise you to focus on long-term diplomacy. Ukraine will return Donbass. Even during my lifetime, I am sure … we will see Ukraine, which will unite again, but this will not happen by military means, but by economic means, ”Ischinger emphasized.
He expressed the view that Ukraine is a potentially rich country.
“It has a large population with a high level of education and has incredible potential to increase the median income. There is no objective reason why it should not reach the level of Poland. in Donbass they will have an income five or even 10 times higher than east of this line. And this is the way to go, “added the politician.
In 1991, Nagorno-Karabakh, with the support of Armenia, declared its independence from Azerbaijan. This led to hostilities that lasted until 1994. The armed conflict ended with the signing of the Bishkek Protocol on an armistice and a ceasefire, but from time to time armed clashes broke out between the parties. During the conflict, more than 30 thousand people died in the region. Azerbaijan considers Nagorno-Karabakh as a territory occupied by Armenia.
September 27, 2020 in Nagorno-Karabakh the biggest conflict in recent years broke out… The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry accused Armenia of a “large-scale provocation”, shelling of the Azerbaijani army positions and announced the beginning of a “swift counteroffensive”. The Armenian authorities, in turn, stated that the Azerbaijani army had launched an offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh. During the conflict, the parties used tanks, heavy artillery and aircraft. Deaths and injuries reported military personnel and civilians.
On the evening of November 10, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed declaration to end the war in Karabakh.
Immediately after the occupation of Crimea, Russia launched an armed aggression in eastern Ukraine. The fighting is between the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the one hand, and the Russian army and the Russian-backed militants who control parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, on the other. The Russian Federation does not officially recognize its invasion of Ukraine, despite the facts and evidence presented by Ukraine.
